Smart access management for Bed and Breakfast and Airbnb with 1Control

Keys to hand over, guests at midnight, banned key lockboxes:
check-in is the weak spot of your B&B

If you run a B&B or an Airbnb apartment you know it well: the most tiring part is not hospitality, it's getting people through the door. And a complicated check-in often turns into a negative review.

Keys that get lost

Keys handed over in person, lost, never returned or duplicated without control. Every set of keys out there is a risk and a cost: duplicates, cylinder replacement, trips back to the property.

Late arrivals

The flight is delayed, the guest arrives at midnight and you are stuck waiting to hand over the keys. Or you make them wait, and the holiday starts off on the wrong foot.

Changing rules

Several European cities — for example Milan, Florence and Paris — have restricted key lockboxes in public spaces, and in many destinations check-in rules now require verifying the guest's identity. The old shortcuts are no longer enough: always check your local regulations.

The 1Control solution

With 1Control you solve all of this: you give each guest an access valid only for the dates of the stay and, when needed, you open remotely while identifying them on a video call — in line with the stricter self check-in rules arriving in many destinations.

1Control PAD - wireless smart PIN keypad for gates and garages of B&Bs and Airbnbs

Tell us which entrance you have, we'll tell you how to make it smart

Every property is different: some have a driveway gate, some a main door on the alley, some an armoured room door. Start from your entrance: for each one there's the right 1Control device — all wireless, all from the same app, all with no monthly fees.

1Control PAD - wireless smart PIN keypad for gates and garages of B&Bs and Airbnbs

Have a gate, a garage or an up-and-over door? PAD opens it with a PIN code

For driveway entrances — gate, garage, up-and-over door, side gate — the wireless PAD keypad pairs by copying your automation's remote control straight from the app: no wires, no building work, runs on batteries.

For each booking you create a PIN valid only for the dates of the stay: the guest types the code and walks in, no app to install, no internet, no need for you to be there.

Would you rather have co-hosts / tech-savvy guests open from the app? Add SOLO, the gate opener for smartphone.

1Control DORY - smart electronic lock for doors of B&Bs and Airbnbs

A standard, non-electrified door? DORY mounts on the cylinder, without changing it

Your door doesn't need to be electrified or prepared in any way. DORY is a retrofit smart lock that makes a standard mechanical door smart — even a security door — by mounting on the existing European cylinder: you install it in a few minutes, on your own, with no cables and no electrical work.

Share the opening on the guest's smartphone with the dates of the stay, and the traditional keys included always remain usable as a backup. So the guest opens from their smartphone or with the physical key, and you cover the route from the gate or main entrance to the room door.

1Control PAD - PIN code opening of electrified doors and pedestrian gates in B&Bs and Airbnbs

Is the door already electrified? Then PAD is all you need

If the entrance is already motorised or electrified — front doors with an electric lock, automatic doors, pedestrian gates, building entrances — you don't need to add a lock: the PAD keypad is enough.

PAD pairs with the existing automation by copying the original remote control from the app, again without connecting any wires, and the guest enters with a PIN code valid only for the dates of the stay.

1Control LOCO - Bluetooth smart padlock for bike rooms of B&Bs and Airbnbs

Have a bike room or e-bike storage? Smart too

More and more guests travel with e-bikes worth thousands of euros and look for a safe place to store them.

Put a PAD on the bike room: the guest enters with the same PIN as their stay. And for individual bikes or racks there is LOCO, the Bluetooth smart padlock that opens from your smartphone.

1Control LINK - remote opening of doors and gates for B&Bs and Airbnbs

Whatever your entrance, open it remotely with LINK

Whatever 1Control device you have installed on your entrances, LINK is the Wi-Fi hub that acts as a bridge to 1Control Bluetooth devices and enables remote opening, with no distance limits: from the app, with voice commands or from the car screen.

Has the guest arrived early? Is the maintenance technician at the gate while you're at work? Open from wherever you are, in one click. And when you need to identify the guest, you do it on a video call and open for them right then, from your own sofa.


Discover the LINK hub
1Control LINK and open/close sensors - door and gate status and notifications for B&Bs and Airbnbs

Door or gate left open? With the sensors you know right away

On any entrance, with the open/close sensors paired with LINK you check from the app, in real time, whether a door or gate is open or closed — even when you're not at the property.

And you get a notification at every entry and exit: the guest has arrived, the cleaners have been, the check-out has happened. Everything is also tracked in the access history.

Thanks to Bluetooth, 1Control devices guarantee proximity opening even with no connection at all: no SIM, Wi-Fi or data connection needed.

For those who want to eliminate remote controls and use their smartphone to open gates and more, this product is terrific. Very easy to install, I would say that it borders on banality, it is so simple. A guide follows you step by step in the installation and does not require electrical interventions. I have searched and tried many, many products but no one has satisfied me like this [...]

With a single device that I keep in the dashboard of the car I got to be able to open the gate of the house, the gate of the work, the gate of the mother and, unbelievably, of the mother-in-law! Very well done!

Humbert T.  -  logo googleplay

I would say very useful with a negligible cost, if you consider that a remote control costs 30 €, very easy installation, what about if I had another gate I would do the same thing!

Sssimonesss  -  logo appstore

Very convenient application when maybe you can't carry the radio controls (bike) with you. Impeccable assistance in solving problems. Thank you

Mauro C.  -  logo googleplay

I bought 2 Solo, 1 Solo Kit (for an old control unit for overhead doors) and 2 Why remote controls. Punctual delivery, complete instructions, quick and easy installation, immediate and comprehensive assistance for connecting the Solo Kit. Everything works perfectly: congratulations to all the 1Control staff !!

Jack C.  -  logo appstore

I purchased 1Control and I open, through the app, a condominium gate and a shutter of a box directly from my iPhone or through the Apple Watch and it works very well and I also want to report the great availability and competence of the technical support.

Paul M.  -  logo appstore

Excellent product and assistance always ready to help and present. I had a problem that they helped me solve in no time.

Stefan P.  -  logo googleplay

The guide for copying the remote control is easy and crystal clear. Very comfortable the new possibility to choose the password!
I have connected 3 gates and have already shared access with the garage I rent. So I don't have to give him my remote anymore!

Mary Anne  -  logo appstore

Between those at home and those in the office now I'm filling up with remote controls .. Having the ability to delete them thanks to an app is fantastic!

Gabriela H.  -  logo googleplay

Works as per description. Even with Apple Watch it works great. Gorgeous product and very well cared for packaging.

loryyyyyyy  -  logo appstore

Simply fantastic! I still don't understand how I managed to do without it all these years !!! Easy installation

Marc M.  -  logo googleplay

Convenient app - open gate and garage all from your phone. And if you have several gates, home, work, etc., you do everything from one device instead of having several remote controls. Really well thought out!

Fra19837564  -  logo appstore

Very satisfied. What I needed. Very comfortable and very easy to use and to assemble, thanks also to the assistance.

Harry F.  -  logo googleplay

I was enthusiastic about the product that is simple to use but above all easy to install, it immediately recognized my two remote controls and it works great. I highly recommend the product.

Frequently asked questions



No. With the PAD keypad the guest enters by typing a PIN code, with no app and no connection. With the DORY lock they can also use a traditional key. The 1Control app is only for you, to create codes, manage shares and keep track of accesses.

Yes. 1Control devices open in proximity via Bluetooth even with no internet at all: no SIM, Wi-Fi or data connection needed. A connection, through the LINK hub, is only required for remote features such as remote opening and notifications.

Guest registration and check-in rules vary by country and are getting stricter in many destinations: some require identity verification, which in several cases can be done remotely via video. With the LINK hub you can identify the guest on a video call and open the door or gate remotely at that very moment. Keep in mind that 1Control handles openings and access: guest registration and legal reporting remain your responsibility, with the tools you already use. Always check the rules that apply to your property and location.

Several European cities — for example Milan, Florence and Paris — have restricted key lockboxes in public spaces, with fines and removals. With 1Control devices the problem simply disappears: handing over physical keys is no longer needed. In any case, always check your local regulations.

No. PAD pairs via radio by copying the original remote control and runs on batteries, DORY mounts on the door's existing European cylinder and the open/close sensors are battery powered. Everything can be installed on your own in a few minutes, with no electrician or builder.

Yes. PINs and shares have a start and end date, days of the week and time slots of validity, and can be revoked at any time, even remotely. Each booking can have its own code: no more one and the same PIN for all guests.

With the LINK hub and the open/close sensors you get a notification whenever a door or gate is opened, and you can check the access history from the app or from the Web Admin: you know who entered, through which entrance and at what time.

You always have a plan B: the PIN on the PAD keypad requires no app and no phone, the DORY lock keeps the traditional keys usable in parallel, and with the LINK hub you can open remotely yourself at any time.

No. 1Control products require no monthly or annual fees for opening, sharing and access history features: you pay for the device once.
